Network throttling in Mobile tests that run on the Backbone network

When a test is configured to use a Mobile script and run on the Backbone network, you can define the network speed the test will simulate. For example, to monitor how your website performs on a mobile device under different connection conditions, you can create tests that simulate typical 3G or 4G speeds.

The following list provides guidelines for simulating different network speeds:

2G network

Download speed 250 kb/s

Upload speed 50 kb/s

Latency 300 ms

3G network

Download speed 750 kb/s

Upload speed 250 kb/s

Latency 100 ms

4G network

Download speed 4000 kb/s (4.0 Mb/s)

Upload speed 3000 kb/s (3.0 Mb/s)

Latency 20 ms

WiFi

Download speed 30000 kb/s (30 Mb/s)

Upload speed 15000 kb/s (15 Mb/s)

Latency 2 ms

When you configure a Mobile test to run on the Backbone network, the test uses the Backbone test settings. For more details of creating the test, see Adding tests.
